We came in from the south and strolled through Mercado San Juan Arcos de Belén. I can see, from rereading your post, that we undoubtedly overlooked some dleicacies.<br /><br />We had a pleasant breakfast of caldo de gallina at the very friendly El Paisa. We had no room left for ricos tacos de Toluca until the next day.<br /><br />About paella: I had discovered via Googling that El Cabrito Astur (formerly Bar Sobia), Palma # 40, Centro, served paella "Cantábrica". We went there Friday and while it was o.k., it wasn't great. Their cabrito asado was better, although bony. I guess that's the nature of the creature.<br /><br />Now we shall have to try the paella at D.O. Lesley Tellez also suggested that to us.<br /><br />Saludos,<br />Don CuevasDon Cuevashttp://www.mexkitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726818504596195920.post-60154865832861530192011-07-27T08:58:49.379-05:002011-07-27T08:58:49.379-05:00Dear Moon - No, the ornery Spaniards paella is not...Dear Moon - No, the ornery Spaniards paella is not so good.You have to spend real money to get the real thing in Mexico, or else they use the wrong rice and through in hot dogs.

For years I have been searching for decent paella in this country to no avail. This sullen Spaniard (who stands and glowers, by the way) disappointed me. It would be a kindness to call his paella mediocre.

But I was too focussed on my errand to really appreciate the place. Now I will go back and soak it up more. <br /><br />I also noticed a coffee roaster on Calle Lopez, sorry I didn't note the cross street. Coffee smoke and great smells were pooring out and there was a big crowd, but I didn't have the time for the line today.
